You must embrace the Word of God as the most effective instrument for change.

T. B. Joshua

Do not be deluded by the abstract word Freedom. Whose freedom? Not the freedom of one individual in relation to another, but freedom of Capital to crush the worker.

Karl Marx

I think everybody deserves freedom. Freedom is such an abstract word, but it's all we need.

Ai Weiwei

I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute Freedom and Wildness, as contrasted with a Freedom and Culture merely civil, - to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society.

Henry David Thoreau

Thus the theory of description matters most. It is the theory of the word for those For whom the word is the making of the world, The buzzing world and lisping firmament.

Wallace Stevens

Abstraction is itself an abstract word and has no single meaning ... Every word in our language is abstract, because it represents something else.

Eric Maisel

Love is the best, most insidious, most effective instrument of social repression.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder

The Internet is the most effective instrument we have for globalization.

Milton Friedman

The Hebrew word, the word timshel - 'Thou mayest' - that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open...Why, that makes a man great...He can choose his course and fight it through and win...I have a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul. It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe. It is always attacked and never destroyed - because 'Thou mayest'. ch 24

John Steinbeck

What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice. Without the possibility of choice a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing. —Archibald MacLeish

Sheena Iyengar

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

Mark Twain

For me, the most important word in cinema is the word freedom. For example, in Europe, we've got freedom, we've got the final cut and that's something which is marvellous.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet

A public-school system, if it means the providing of free education for those who desire it, is a noteworthy and beneficent achievement of modern times; but when once it becomes monopolistic it is the most perfect instrument for tyranny which has yet been devised. Freedom of thought in the middle ages was combated by the Inquisition, but the modern method is far more effective.’ (1923)

John Gresham Machen

The goal of human freedom is not in freedom itself, nor it is in man, but in God. By giving man freedom, God has yielded to man a piece of His Divine authority, but with the intention that man himself would voluntarily bring it as a sacrifice to God, a most perfect offering.

Theophan the Recluse

I think when you're learning an instrument, you are restricted because much of it is the noise of individual theory and your ability to play the instrument.
